“In order to uphold its income tax, the city would have to convince a court that individual income is not protected by the constitution.”

At the Supreme Court, Seattle officials hope to attack the long-standing interpretation that income taxes are property taxes.
What your regressive mindset fails to process, is that high income individuals, only achieve that income thanks to everyone else- public teachers, libraries, public roads, police, etc. as senator warren proclaimed, if you have a business, YOU didn’t build it. YOU had help. YOU have to spread the wealth around to those who made your success possible.
